    Save a click: Cast to nearby devices only works on the new Pixel and the Pixel Tablet.

      new Pixel

      Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and both Folds. Not the base variants, and especially not the a series. Just in case anyone actually wondered.

      The bigger issue is that you can only cast from the tablet to the phone, not the other way around, at least if the Feature Drop page is to be believed

      Soon, you can easily transfer media from your Pixel Tablet to your Pixel phone with the new casting feature coming in the next few weeks. All you have to do is bring your phone close to your tablet and what you’re playing on Spotify or YouTube music will seamlessly move over without the extra steps of tapping the cast icon.
